The Experience

Hippie Chick is more than a race; it's a Mother's Day weekend tradition. For over 20 years, this all-women's event has brought runners and walkers together at Champoeg State Park in St. Paul, Oregon. The flat, scenic course winds along bike paths and park roads, offering a fast and forgiving route that's perfect for both seasoned runners and first-timers.

The atmosphere is pure celebration: finisher medals, technical tees, a beer garden, music, and even a costume contest. One runner raved about the post-party being '1 of the BEST I have ever attended,' and praised the well-marked course and great MC. With a median field of around 167 finishers and about 17% returning each year, it's a tight-knit community that keeps coming back.

Whether you're chasing a PR or simply soaking in the joy of fitness and friendship, Hippie Chick delivers. As the organizer says, 'Peace. Love. Race!'
